Playing "The 8/18 Card"
while blogging on company time for a six-figure salary: Priceless.

From
Luther's large Catechism:

The Seventh Commandment.222] Thou shalt not
steal.

The same I say also of mechanics, workmen, and day-laborers, who
all follow their wanton notions, and never know enough ways to overcharge
people, while they are lazy and unfaithful in their work. All these are far
worse than sneak-thieves, against whom we can guard with locks and bolts, or
who, if apprehended, are treated in such a manner that they will not do the same
again. But against these no one can guard, no one dare even look awry at them or
accuse them of theft, so that one would ten times rather lose from his purse.
For here are my neighbors, good friends, my own servants, from whom I expect
good [every faithful and diligent service], who defraud me first of all.
